Sephiroth vs Link

I understand how a whip works, when they designed Majora, because it's a game, and I doubt anyone on the design team had ever used a whip, they animated Majora to look badass and threatening, but they also gave the whips a cracking contact sound, and called them whips. What they're supposed to be is obvious, thy even crack. The cracking during the spin is Nintendo reusing the weapon's contact sound effect.

Majora's animated avatar doesn't display much in the way of technique but they still crack. They're still supersonic, and Link still reacts.

You don't realise that the actual movement of the whip is nowhere close at breaking the sound barrier? The tiny tip, which isn't in time even significant in comparison to the rest of the whip movement is the only thing that breaks the sound barrier. There's probably only milliseconds that's actually the point of breaching.

This case can be compared to dodging a bullet when the barrel is pressed against you. It strikes virtually the same instant that the trigger is pulled. It's a matter of milliseconds. Link can react at a hundredth of a second, and still block the crack without reacting to the actual burst.

I understand the science behind it, very well, the thing is, Nintendo adding the cracking sound effect for a reason. The whips are intended to crack, and that is when they attack, and Link does defend himself. I don't see where the problem is.

Yeah, the crack of a whip is ridiculously fast, and Link reacts to them.

He reacts to the impact of the whip. Not the crack. The crack is only not even a centimeter in range and takes place for only a millisecond. Unless you show Link blocking that attack in ~x350 slowmotion, there's no way of knowing if he's reacting to the burst or the whip.

You know what I mean, he reacts to the whip before it strikes him. It accellerates to super sonci speed beofre this occurs.

A normal human can slice a pop can in half with a whip, how fast do you think you need to get the cracker moving to shear aluminum? Link can react to an attack at that speed.

If he were to try and dodge before the actual crack, though, Majora could just adjust his aim and hit Link anyway.

If it breached the soundbarrier before the kinetic energy reached the tip, it would crack before that.

What proof do you have that Majora has the required perception and reflexes to adjust the attack at such a critical point of the strike?

It's not that critical of a point, if Link jumps out of the way too early, it's relatively simple to adjust your aim a little to the right, lol.

Like I said, Nintendo's developers probably don't know how a whip works, hence the slight inconsistancy, it's still a whip, and it still cracks.

And we still lack the detail perception required to declare either Majora or Link at that level of reactionspeed. You are assuming the greater of two options for one accomplishment, much like how Burning Thought declare the word "regulate" to mean one thing and not the other for Kain (Although both are possible definitions. This on vague conclusions)

Actually, if you look at anything I do, I round down vastly. This is one case I refuse to let be swept under thr rug because people do not like to think of Link as a powerful character though. |: I'm not interpretting Link to be omnipoetent like BT does with Kain. I'm saying whip crack = sonic boom. Link defended himself against a weapon that broke the sound barrier. This is canon. |: So Nintendo didn't research whips before they designed Majora, it's obvious what the weapon is intended to be and what that sound effect is.

My feelings are legit hurt now that you've compared me to BT D:<

Link can block the whip before it ever comes close to cracking.

You say Majora can just adjust his aim if Link blocks or dodges before the crack? OH WAIT! Majora has never displayed such skill with the whips though! dur So your point on this matter is useless.

Majora has never displayed any skill with a whip, and can you prove the whips crack each time he swings? Because the way he is swinging them would not produce a crack.

I don't mind Link being powerful at all, but this UNLIKE your other points lack a solid foundation of proof.

Lol, Nemetroll. <4

@C.C. The whips obviously cracked Nintendo gave it an obvious sound effect.. So what do you propose occured other than Link defended himself by either dodging or blocking? |:

He blocked before the whips cracked.

Obviously.

Considering Majora cannot change his aim before doing so.

Not to mention Link's shield DOES almost cover his entire body.

Neme, I keep telling you in plain English why that won't work. Go play with your G.I. Joes.

It cracks, but that sadly doesn't prove your standpoint.

Why won't it work then? 🙂

It does. Because it proves the whips were super sonic.

Black and white.

You'll need something bigger if you want to cause butt-hurt. <3

Because Link would have to rely on Majora being window-licking retarded and aiming for Link's sheild for that to work.

No. The only truth is that the tip of the whip might break the soundbarrier. There's no proof of your claims. Only speculation. (I don't want to compare you to BT, but that's the path you're going down)

Blocking or dodging BEFORE the whips crack does not have to mean holding your shield up the whole fight.

Oh.

And Majora IS retarded, he's like a raging child for God's sakes.

... K, I'm gettign confused about where there's any speculation.

Fact 1. Whips cracked.

Fact 2. The crack is a sonic boom.

Fact 3. The attacking portion of the whip is the part that accellerates to super sonic speed.

Find me the speculation.

If you end up comparing me to BT you're makign a grave mistake indeed. You're obviously set in your position, and no logical argument will move oyu out of it. But I cannot see the "speculation" in this.
